Using Wifi as simple web browser

I have an application where a field tech working in the sun needs a simple device to view a "local" web page used for setup and tuning of a "radio" such as Ubiquiti or Cambium / Motorola subscriber modules that is accessed indirectly through WiFi.

I had heard about someone hacking a PaperWhite to do just that. I also see that Amazon has an experimental browser that apparently is clunky to use.

Does hacking a PW 2 give a different browser experience other than "clunky"?

the usage is pretty basic, but the user needs to enter IP address information, customer name, etc. into a web page.

Is PW 2 with or without a hack a good fit?

Where can I find information about how to go about the hack if that is required?

Thanks!

Paul
